SLIME SCIENCE AND CHEMISTRY

We always like to include a bit of homemade slime science around here, and that’s perfect for exploring chemistry with a candy corn theme. Slime is an excellent chemistry demonstration and kids love it too! Mixtures, substances, polymers, cross linking, states of matter, elasticity, and viscosity are just a few of the science concepts that can be explored with homemade slime!

What’s the science behind the slime? The borate ions in the slime activators (sodium borate, borax powder, or boric acid) mix with the PVA (polyvinyl-acetate) glue and forms this cool stretchy substance. This is called cross linking!

The glue is a polymer and is made up of long, repeating, and identical strands or molecules. These molecules with flow past one another keeping the glue in a liquid state. Until…

When you add the borate ions to the mixture, it starts to connect these long strands together. They begin to tangle and mix until the substance is less like the liquid you started with and thicker and rubberier like slime! Slime is a polymer.

Picture the difference between wet spaghetti and leftover spaghetti the next day. As the slime forms the tangled molecule strands are much like the clump of spaghetti!

Is slime a liquid or solid? We call it a Non-newtonian fluid because it’s a little bit of both!

FLUFFY SLIME TIPS

The base for this Witch’s Brew Halloween fluffy slime uses one of our most basic slime recipes which is glue, shaving cream, baking soda, and saline solution. Of course you can add food coloring!

FLUFFY HALLOWEEN SLIME INGREDIENTS

NOTE: You can absolutely make this with any of our regular slime recipes if you don’t want to make fluffy slime. The look will be just as fun and you can substitute white glue for clear glue for more vivid colors.

The best slime recipe starts with the right slime ingredients. Make sure to follow along with our measurements. Start by adding your shaving cream, glue and food coloring to a bowl.

Remember, you want to make 3 batches of this awesome fluffy slime! One batch remains white, one is colored orange, and one is colored yellow.

BEST SLIME ACTIVATORS

Add in your slime activator (baking soda and saline solution) to complete the chemical reaction you read about above in the science behind the slime section. If you scrolled past it, go back and read it with your kids!

You can also learn more about all our favorite slime activators here. Keep in mind that liquid starch, saline solution, and borax powder are all in the boron family. Neither of these ingredients are truly borax free.

We always recommend kneading your fluffy slime well after mixing. Kneading the slime really helps to improve it’s consistency. The trick with shaving cream/saline solution slime is to squirt a few drops of solution onto your hands before picking up the slime.

You can knead the slime in the bowl before you pick it up as well. This slime is ultra stretchy but can be stickier. However, keep in mind that although adding more solution reduces the stickiness right away, it will create a stiffer slime in the long run.

Our slime recipes are so easy to change up with different themes for holidays, seasons, favorite characters, or special occasions. Saline solution is always super stretchy and makes for great sensory play and science with the kids!

SHAVING CREAM SLIME RECIPE FOR MAKING FLUFFY CANDY CORN SLIME

STEP 4: Mix in 1 tbsp saline solution and stir until slime forms and pulls away from sides of bowl. This is exactly how much you will need with the Target Sensitive Eyes brand!

If your slime still feels too sticky, you may need a few more drops of saline solution. As I mentioned above, start by squirting a few drops of the solution onto your hands and kneading your slime longer. You can always add but you can’t take away. Saline solution is preferred over contact solution.

Go ahead and try to shape it like a candy corn!

STORING YOUR SLIME

Slime lasts quite awhile! I get a lot of questions regarding how I store my slime. We use reusable containers in either plastic or glass. Make sure to keep your slime clean and it will last for several weeks. I love the deli style containers in my recommended slime supplies list here.

Note: Fluffy slime with shaving cream will loose some of it’s fluff due to the foam shaving losing air over time. However, it’s still tons of fun afterwards.

If you want to send kids home with a bit of slime from a camp, party, or classroom project, I would suggest packages of reusable containers from the dollar store or grocery store or even Amazon. For large groups we have used condiment containers as seen here.
